James Daniel May is an English Television presenter and award-winning Journalist.

He is best known as co-presenter of motoring programme Top Gear alongside Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond. He also writes a weekly column for The Daily Telegraph's motoring section. On Top Gear, his nickname is "Captain Slow", due to his 'careful' driving style. He has, however, carried out some exceptionally high-speed driving. He became one of the very few in the world to have taken a Bugatti Veyron to its top speed of 253.45 mph , precisely one-third of the speed of sound at sea level.
